MBABANE – The Manzini mini-derby between Manzini Sea Birds and Moneni Pirates
will now be played two days earlier.
They will play in a MTN Premier League double header billed for Sunday at
Somhlolo National Stadium, where Milling Hotspurs will first play Mhlume
Peacemakers at 1:30pm and then it will follow at 3:30pm. The Premier League of
Eswatini released amended fixtures yesterday.
Sea Birds and Pirates were first scheduled to play yesterday but the match was
then brought forward. This is according to the amended fixtures.
Another enthralling match to be played on Sunday is between Tambuti who are
going to host Mbabane Highlanders at Mayaluka Stadium. Kick-off time is 3:30pm.
The pressure will be on Mbabane Highlanders following a three-game winless run.
Head-to-head
However, Highlanders might still be buoyed by their better head-to-head after
suffering only one loss against Tambuti in the six league meetings. That was
back on December 19, 2017 in the 2016/17 season.
The duo of Young Buffaloes and Mbabane Swallows, who are now favourites for the
first round E350 000 incentive, will be in action on Saturday.
Log leaders Young Buffaloes host relegation-threatened Pigg’s Peak Black
Swallows at King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium at 3:30pm, while Mbabane Swallows
have a date with Malanti Chiefs at Somhlolo National Stadium, with the game
starting at 3:30pm.
The armed forces derby between Royal Leopard and Green Mamba is billed for
Mhlume Stadium on Saturday at 3:30pm.
The fixtures were released by the PLE Chief Operations Officer (COO) Pat
Vilakati.
